Here are the candidates:
1. streambuf_facade / stream_facade 2. generic_streambuf / generic_stream 3. streambuf / stream 4. xstreambuf / xstream
I don't like any of those. I don't think they tell much about what they name. OTOH, I may lack some background. I don't even understand what rationale for such a name as xstreambuf/xstream is :-(
It was supposed to mean "extended."
5. device_streambuf / device_stream 6. devbuf / devstream
These both are much better, IMO. Being a minimalist, I would probably prefer number 6.
Thanks. Rob Stewart pointed out that dev is sometimes an abbreviation for "development" or "developer." The reason I'm not too excited about "device_streambuf" and "device_stream" is that they're hard to pronounce without running the final consonant of "device" into the initial consonant of "stream" or "streambuf."
